to attack a consulate is an act of war under anybody's interpretation of international law. it's an act of war. and when somebody commits an act of war against the united states, gens a u.s. ambassador, against our people -- against a u.s. ambassador, against our people, they need to know there is a commander in chief, or if he doesn't know because he's busy, somebody that will give the order to protect those that were put in that bad situation. our military needs to know that their commander cares. our military needs to know that they are not going to lay down their life for nothing. . this is not the kind of testimony we need. we want the truth. if this is the truth so be it. of course we heard from the doctors after the fall that, gee, it turns out this could be the kind of thing that would result in memory loss. and i'm glad she's well enough to get along. my late mother with a brain tumor had balance problems. we constantly had to be on alert for her falling, maybe tripping over a curb and hurting herself. breaks your heart when you see somebody bruised from falling. so

not enough state senate republicans support this law. the state of virginia, president obama narrowly carries it. if you look at it here, it's 7 of 11. mitt romney carried seven of the 11 congressional districts so he would have won the majority of the electoral college votes. if you pull out to the country, if you did it by grgs gnat district in all 50 states, mitt romney would be the president today. what about this appears now to be dying but what makes it fascinating is if you had a change like this, look at it. if you did it that way what would change? democrats would be down campaigning in places like alabama. places like georgia. any of these voting rights states that have african-american congressional districts. we'd have a presidential campaign in which republicans would be out campaigning in california. we haven't seen that since that bush campaign in 1988. and even in the states of pennsylvania and especially new york. so if you did this in all 50 states it would make for a very different presidential election. >> that's pret
